Great comments. Thanks so much!
Why the feature ? I hate commercials, thats why! So when a commercials comes on, I want to hit a button, toggle off the mute for 60, 120 or (sadly) 180 seconds and then have it toggle back on. Yes, I'm that lazy.....I completely overlooked the fact the timer is internal to the remote and therefore, must be pointed to correct line of site to toggle the volume back on. Need to rethink that.
Will also update my Name-Just wanted to let everyone know I was new and this may be a well discussed topic for you other Good Folks.
Looking now at the Denon AVR RS232 codes.
Comedian Mitch Hedburg died in 2005 of existing hearth condition aggravated by drug use. But he w-a-s funny. Very funny!
Thanks for your consideration.
